Ask HN: Why hasn't x86 caught up with Apple M series?

Hi, My daily workhorse is a M1 Pro that I purchased on release date, It has been one of the best tech purchases I have made, even now it really deals with anything I throw at it. My daily work load is regularly having a Android emulator, iOS simulator and a number of Dockers containers running simultaneously and I never hear the fans, battery life has taken a bit of a hit but it is still very respectable. I wanted a new personal laptop, and I was debating between a MacBook Air or going for a F

macOS dotfiles should not go in –/Library/Application Support

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-05 08:49:36

#macOS dotfiles should not go in ~/Library/Application Support One of my pet peeves is when command-line tools look for user configuration files in ~/Library/Application Support when running on macOS. In addition to offering poor ergonomics for users, I believe this behavior is incorrect according to the documentation which is cited to justify it. Instead, command-line tools should implement the XDG Base Directory Specification and look for configuration files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME , which defaul

Google Photos is letting you lift subjects as stickers — but only on iOS

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is adding the popular tap-and-hold sticker creation feature to the iOS app. Users can press and hold a photo subject to quickly copy or share it as a standalone sticker. It’s unclear if Google Photos on Android will get this easy sticker creation feature. One of the smaller sticking points in the iOS vs Android debate is how easy it is to make stickers from your photos. It’s not a big deal, but it certainly enhances the experience for e

Apple has rolled out the fifth public beta of macOS Tahoe 26, continuing its weekly release schedule for public and developer betas ahead of the official launch next month. Here’s how to install it. First things first: should you install the beta? You probably know the drill: Betas can be unpredictably buggy. Even if something works on one release, it is not guaranteed to work on the next. Of course, your mileage may vary. But if you decide to install the beta, strongly consider Apple’s adv

Tesla could have avoided that $242.5M Autopilot verdict, filings show

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2025-11-05 14:32:47

Months before a jury awarded a $242.5 million verdict against Tesla over its culpability in a 2019 fatal crash, the automaker had a chance to settle for $60 million. Instead, Tesla rejected that offer, according to new legal filings that were first reported by Reuters. The settlement proposal, which was made in May, was disclosed in a filing that requested Tesla cover legal fees for the plaintiffs in the case. Earlier this month, a jury in federal court in Miami found Tesla partly to blame f

Saudi AI Firm Launches Halal Chatbot

Companies with AI chatbots love to highlight their capability as translators, but they still default to English, both in function and in the information they are trained on. With that in mind, Humain, an AI company in Saudi Arabia, has now launched an Arabic-native chatbot. The bot, called Humain Chat, runs on the Allam large language model, according to Bloomberg, which the company claims was trained on “one of the largest Arabic datasets ever assembled” and is the “world’s most advanced Arabi

The breach of the judiciary’s electronic case filing system first came to light in a report by Politico three weeks ago, which went on to say that the vulnerabilities exploited in the hack were known since 2020.
